In this episode I talk about holidays in the Church: the Holy Days of Obligation, the feast days of the saints, and some secular holidays that started out as Christian celebrations. I also talk about how the Holydays are supposed to remind us that we need to constantly be growing our relationship with God, and one way that we can do that. What I say in the episode are just my thoughts. If you need spiritual direction, you should talk to a member of the clergy.

In this episode I talk about the Miraculous Medal: What it looks like, the symbolism in it, the story of how we got it, and more. In the second half of the episode, I talk about the letter that I received from the White House in response to the letter I sent back in January. One might call what I say "political," but I merely tell the truth. I'm not trying to hurt anybody's feelings or make anybody feel like they are right.

In this episode, I talk about the saints: who the saints are, why we have saints how the saints help us, and why we pray to saints. I found it really interesting that August 27 (the day this episode is being released) is the feast day of Saint Monica, who constantly prayed for her son Augustine, who spent his early life away from Christ. Her prayers eventually worked, and Augustine converted and turned out to be a great saint himself. Saint Monica, pray for us!

My goal with this episode is to educate newcomers to the Rosary about the basics of how and why we pray the Rosary, without being overwhelming. There is a lot of information that I leave out to keep things simple, so I encourage listeners to find a guide to praying the Rosary after listening to the episode to help them further their understanding of the prayer, especially the Mysteries.
